Biography

Yugoslav-born actress Sylva Koscina was an Italian resident from the age of 12. In films from 1955, Koscina gained international attention for her leading-lady stints in Steve Reeves' first two Hercules films. She went on to appear in so many films in so many roles that it's difficult to "type"her: she was an adventurous acrobat in Judex (1960), a socially conscious nun in The Little Nuns (1962), "herself" in Fellini's Juliet and the Spirits (1965), a lesbian assassin in Deadlier Than the Male (1967) and so on. Retiring from films in 1987, Sylva Koscina returned before the cameras in the year just prior to her death: her last appearance was in the tantalizingly titled Kim Novak is on the Phone (1994).

Was a physics student at Naples University before she went into movies.

Has been Miss Da Tapa (1952)

Since the early 1960s, invested most of her considerable salaries as a star in a luxurious villa, in the well-to-do district of Marino, Rome, complete with 16th centuries furniture and artists paintings. That lasted until her spending overcame dwindling income, and she had to face a tax evasion inquest, when she was forced to sell her house, in 1976.

Lived with Raimondo Castelli since 1960, but did not marry because of the opposition of Italian law and his wife, Marinella, refusing divorce to couples married by the catholic rite. They did marry in Mexico in 1967, but that was not recognized in Italy.
